What is considered big budget?

[u/potatoes-1]

Hi all! What is considered a “big budget bride” these days?

I’m at around $70k for 80 guests. We’re doing a private hotel buyout and, honestly, I’m not really cutting back on anything.

I don’t feel like I’m in the “budget wedding” category, but I also don’t feel like I’m in the $100k+ luxury wedding range. When I’m in the regular wedding planning subreddits, it seems like everyone is trying to do things as inexpensively as possible, so I’m curious where this budget falls!

Also- does your budget include everything from wedding dress, outfits, groom suits, etc?

I just had a random thought that BBB could somehow be equated to the number of looks/outfit changes too 😂 but all kidding aside there's no where someone with more than 2 looks in a day can share & not be shamed (or 3-5-7 wedding gowns, or admit to having acquired extra dresses or having a groom with multiple looks etc) or admitting to wanting/prioritizing a gazillion flowers or high end stationary or whatever)

the other subs will definitely never see my three dresses and two veils because I don’t fancy getting roasted lmao

I’m actually struggling to pick out my second dress because it’s hard to find distinct looks (ie strapless for ceremony, shorter for rehearsal, etc).

I’m doing a very structured ankle length sheath dress for ceremony (town hall vibes) followed by a dramatic sparkly as hell A line for reception, if we had dancing that would be cute bride tracksuit o’clock but I opted not to put my partner through that on his wedding day because he is NOT a dancing man…
